Yorkshire-based Medical Solicitors has promoted three members of staff to directors.

Operations manager Jo Linton and senior clinical negligence lawyers Christine Brown and Matthew Brown were appointed to the board of directors on 1 April 2023. 

The trio join sisters Caroline and Annette Moore. Clinical negligence solicitor Caroline launched her own firm in 2009 and worked as a sole practitioner. In 2012, the firm moved to an Alternative Business Structure which enables Medical Solicitors to reward non-legally qualified staff with promotion to the board.

Linton was Caroline's personal assistant before becoming Medical Solicitors’ operations manager, responsible for the company’s accounts, facilities, and health and safety. Her promotion to director of operations will bring more responsibilities in assisting Caroline with the firm’s critical financial planning.

She commented: 'It has been a pleasure to learn and grow under Caroline's leadership. I am proud to have been offered the opportunity and excited to embark on this new chapter with Medical Solicitors.'

Caroline added: 'In order to sustain the firm’s growth, it was important to strengthen the foundations of Medical Solicitors with people I have trusted for a long time. Jo, Christine and Matthew have all made incredible individual contributions and have a great rapport with both colleagues and clients. Involving them more in the management processes here was the next logical step and a very positive move for the future of Medical Solicitors.'

Clinical negligence specialists Christine Brown and Matthew Brown have over 20 years’ experience and have been with Medical Solicitors for eight and seven years respectively.

Christine commented: 'It has been a privilege since joining in 2015 to be part of the ongoing expansion of the firm as a leading clinical negligence practice. I am looking forward to contributing to the firm's future growth and sustainable business practices whilst continuing to provide the highest professional standards of service to our clients.'

Matthew said: 'I have seen Medical Solicitors succeed and grow since joining in 2016 and am delighted to now become a director. I look forward to further success in provision of support, getting answers and securing justice for patients harmed by clinical negligence.'
